The problem with that statement is it's not as if farmers are searching "the wild" for cows, pigs, chicken and fish, plucking them from their homes, and plopping them on a farm to live out their (shortened) lives prior to slaughter. They are created to be slaughtered. The choice isn't the wild or the farm.

The two objections to a vegan Thanksgiving that I hear most often are: It's our tradition and Because it tastes good. And I want Baby Sky to grow up in a home where there is just as much respect for chickens and calves and fishes as there is for greyhounds and cats and people. They would say they love animals. It's our tradition.

I've used the term "animal activism" lately as an experiment. I want to talk about why we shouldn't be using animals and that it's infinitely easier to be a vegan than it was 20 years ago. So there are more vegans and fewer animals used by humans, right? I'm trying to gauge people's receptivity to what I'm about to say.

And if you know someone who still eats fish or anyone else from the sea, this is a fantastic book, as I don't recall anyone giving sea creatures the respect they deserve in a long time (and telling their audience the truth about their lives and deaths). N]o fish gets a good death. Not great, but good. He never says he is.
